Internet becoming quite a good Judgement these days. Hopefully make a few more bad drivers behave themselves. Flaming has been most entertaining too. Ya skirt.

The bellend only got a £90 fine. Threaten to kill someone sixteen times and get a £90 fine. His house is £5m probably.

Am hoping his lost business will compensate for the pitiful fine.

As anyone that has ridden a bike around other humans in charge of motorised vehicles will know, this sort of driving is far from unusual.
The aggression from the leather clad gimp isn't even that unusual.
The cyclists inability to find the appropriate cool as a cucumber put down certainly isn't unusual either and is certainly understandable.
What a sad state of affairs :(

The fine was for public order as well. Beardface's driving record could be impeccable still.

Is he gonna lose much bizzy in the long run? I doubt he'd notice it after a year.

It won't- because no one actually will give a shjit in 2 weeks.

I was more thinking of the mental scars of having pictures of your penis everywhere on the internet and the effect on his wife and kids.
I get the impression he was a bit of a gordon ramsay fan with all the shouty shouty

This tokenistic crap really has to go, not just because it inflames drivers, but also (and far more importantly) because it is dangerous, and also allows councils to get away with pretending that they’ve ‘provided’ something for cycling on a particular road or street when in reality it will often make a bad situation worse.

I'm with you. Two hyped-up gits and a not-git trying to calm them down. I know the cyclist had a (near-death) reason to be hyped up, but someone has to step back. You can hear it at the end: 'I was not having that today'. People taking their agendas onto the road. Last place for them.

I use that from time to time. Only when traveling away from the park though. Getting on it from the North end is too fiddly.
It's actually less awful than using the road - but only because the road is godawful. It's real rock-and-a-hard-place stuff.

Reasonable image quality on the camera IMHO

Bottom line is he deliberately drove his car to intimidate the cyclist which could have caused serious injury or death. No matter what his view is on the use of road over cycle lane that's inexcusable.
Fair play to the cyclist trying to calm it down before it got even uglier.

Comments on the Brew FB page in response to earlier posts are a good read at the moment.

Haven't checked the whole thread to see if this has been posted yet. No doubt he won't take a blind bit of notice. I do like the suggestion on FB of people booking tables and not showing up.

Has anyone got some spare cans of the Volvo life paint? Would be great if we made a stencil of the dick pic and emblazoned that on the outside of each cafe, only to be seen at night via bike light.

From the reflection in his scales it would have to be a particularly small dick.

Cans? Cans?
I have a mostly used can of soppec paint. Surely that will be more than enough.

This is not the place for people suggesting property damage, vandalism or whateverthefuck else.
The guys obviously a dick. He hasn't gotten what he deserves, at all.
The cyclist really didn't help matters, and it should be a lesson to all of us, tbh, as its no good being right and fucking dead*, and thats speaking as someone who is a bit lippy on the road.(I'm not condoning the response- btw)
*As in- its too easy for the driver to kill us/ hurt us, and drive off (and as evidenced plenty elsewhere and here- get away with it).

He's receiving some messages of support at least.
"Isn't it funny how almost all cyclists run red lights plus sneek up on your inside whilst generally give us drivers abuse!! Mr Wells has apologised so i'd accept that. There's an awful lot of jealousy out there especially cyclists who seem to think they own the roads!!"
Of course, anyone who uses such things as double exclamation marks has their opinion immediately voided. See also: ''nuff said' and its variations and typing 'FACT' after an opinion.
I know he was a complete fucking lunatic and deserved a kicking but as it now appears he is at risk of losing his business (seems to be a online boycott), has had his penis splashed all over the internet then IMO I do think he has probably learned his lesson.
